296. The Or-Cut Bug

Are you smitten by the orkut bug?

Orkut was a part of my life for three years and i was so much addicted to it that i ended up having my food in front of the computer. My study timings were exchanged for the time i spent on orkut. Even i stopped going out and meeting friends. The addiction was so deep that I started using orkutian terms in my day to day language.In offiicial meetings, I would tell my boss that I would leave him a scrap about my work-status.

My experience with the un-avoidable devil, "Orkut" even made me to send a friend request to Penelope Cruz. She even accepted my request and she started scrapping me in some unknown language. It must have been Spanish or Latin because I did not understand a single word.When I finally attained self-actualisation in orkut, i decided to write two important posts for Orkut users.
These two posts changed the lives of many DeSpErAtE souls. I am adding the two posts yet again , because I want to change the life of some more DeSpErAtE souls.

1.Orkut for Men

2.Orkut for women

I also take this opportunity to announce that I joined orkut again this week and I stayed there for 3 days. I re-lived some of my old moments and then quit from the scene for-ever.Yes! I deactivated my orkut account for eternal bondage.As I intended to pen this post as an inspirational post, i'd like to end it with a piece of advice.Well it gives me great happiness and pleasure in knowing that even a nutty person like me can start giving advices through blogs.If Darkha-Butt can say what ever she wants in her TV-channel, even I can give advices through my blog. Don't you agree with me people?

Advice
"Run away from an addiction before the addiction addicts you". I did not get it right this time. Let me rephrase this sentence for the benefit of my readers. " Run away from addiction after the addiction addicts you".Now I am confused about one thing. I guess the first trial statement was right.
Let me make an operational definition for the term Addiction before I come back to the advice part.Addiction- " It is like a vegetarian having Chicken pox. He has chicken in him;but still he is a vegetarian".Now I forgot the subject on which I originally intended to advice you all. Can you please advice me?

    Deactivating the account appears to be right option if you are way too addicted.

    I was "getting" addicted when I decided to stay away: that was still when I had an account. Now I stay out: too many very good memories associated with it whose bearers are not around in my life. Plus, I am not interested anymore in any of the social networking websites!


    I used to spend a lot of time on Orkut too and yeah that seems like a year and half and a lifetime back;)

    Dude....... Orkut SUCKS....

    FB rocks :)

    and no am not addicted to it... maybe I was an addict to the FB addiction for the first few days but then the addiction to stay away from addiction kicked in and I became a non addict to the addiction... err... watever...

    With respect to the case of the vegetarian and the chicken pox... it would be the same as a non-vegetarian dude being covered with vegetable pulp... :P

    Enjoy the lovely weather there... cheers...

    U could have tried not replying to scraps.In due course, you would have eventually gotten rid of ur addiction because u wouldn't get any scraps either ! :) But then again, if you were hunk on Orkut, this wouldn't have worked either. I want to get unlogged from computer as a whole.I t would be just so human to go back to write-a-letter days!!
